The International Peace Garden in Manitoba has, for 90 years, quietly celebrated the friendship between Canada and the United States.
A small creek marks the border, and people walk freely over it and back again as they stroll among gardens, ponds and monuments.
It lies in the Turtle Mountains, a lush area of gentle hills a 20-minute drive from the closest small communities on either side of the border. There is a “friendship rock,” originally from England, which sits directly on the 49th parallel. There is a clock tower that chimes every 15 minutes, momentarily breaking the quiet. And there is a small conference centre with inspirational quotes etched on limestone walls.Article content
